All you are saying is that because you don't believe in God, it must be that randomness can produce complex systems. You are like one of those fellows in a horror movie muttering "there must be some rational explanation" as dishes fly through the air. What you really mean is that there must be some material explanation. The spiritual explanation is not inherently irrational, it just admits a class of objects you would prefer not to acknowledge.

Just to get a functioning mammal, you have to have a bunch of mutations that are simultaneous and coordinated. You need an articulated skeletal structure, a musculature, a nervous system capable of moving those muscles, a circulatory system to nourish tissue, a pulmonary system to oxygenate the blood, etc. These changes have to occur at the right pace, and be calibrated for proper interaction. Randomness is too blunt an instrument........
